Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Myrany]

Legitimate question. If grinding this took hours and left you exhausted and angry, isn't some of that on you for trying to get this done instead of doing it over time since it will be around for a few months? It seems really odd to me to complain about something that was totally in your control to not grind it out in the very beginning and instead possibly do a little bit over time.

Sure it is but I know what is coming real life for me in the next few weeks so it was sort of a now or never deal.

So blu isn't the problem, the particular players are. And denial of resources to other players is harassment/griefing and reportable under the ToS. Just start reporting the people who refuse to play nice. They are not allowed to do that., they agreed not to when they signed up and agreed to the ToS. You can attempt to talk it out with them, explain your side, and they can agree and be decent people. Or they can get banhammered.

Seriously. Reporting is not harassing someone. You only have to report because they are harassing you. If they didn't want to follow the rules, they could have chosen not to agree to them. They can uninstall at any time. They signed a contract, they refuse to uphold their end at their peril.

Abusing the report system is against tos too, and can be harassment.

Most BLU, myself included doesn’t instakill everything. I bet most of the few that does just want to finish fast and you haven’t even asked them to stop.

Regarding BLU in zones, I even tried hopping to the three different areas, all had multi blu parties that would wipe. All three zones were exactly the same. People are like oh use your stance (note some of these fates are below the level of tank enmity stance, such as level 3 and war's is a level 10 skill). No parties listed in party finder so "join up with them" didn't work in this instance. Hell sometimes it was different blu parties trying to pull all the mobs away from the other (one was hydro pull, 2nd blu ram's voice, 3rd blu ultravibration). I gave up after 3 fates in a row where I arrived at the same time and got nothing. Maybe lag was involved, I dunno but I'd hit an aoe attack as they spawned and it wouldn't even register, the mobs would just fly over to the blu, frozen immediately, and they pretty much died at the same time as they registered their frozen graphic.

All the stuff that's being perceived as "anti-blu" really seems to be asking for some courtesy to others playing the game with you. Personally I was hoping to be able to spread out doing all the collecting over time, like get a weapon or two one day, etc over the course of the event and leave more of my time for doing everything else. Now it seems I have to either time when I play to no on being around and take forever to complete them alone or wait til later in the event and then have to worry about doing them all at once when most people aren't doing them which likely affects their spawn times, completion times etc.

Oh and if you do get to a fate before a the blu train gets there, the difficulty is dialed up to a point where they'll finish a different fate on the other side of the zone and come to yours with enough time for them to complete with gold.

I have BLU at 80 already myself, but playing that as well would be me having to try to time it so my ultravibe killed their hydropull and freeze before their own does, making it worse for anyone who isn't in a blu party. And seriously ultravibing a level 3 fate.... come on.

It’s enough to just land 1-2 hydro pulls, white wind in might guard stance and you will get silver.

I did ask one to please stop OS boss fate I was told to play blue myself.
Also imagine having to ask it in the first place.

Mao nots thinking is griefings but is poorly designed event if some jobs has much harder times than others participatings.

My only complaint is that the boss FATEs even at low level really ought to be immune to instakills like Ultravibe and Lv 5 Death, but a surprising number of them aren't. That's a content failure and probably one SE will never fix.

You should have known by now that fates, specially ARR fates, are abandoned content and all the fixes implemented for HW onwards was done with ARR on mind.

Your signature made me smile, do you suppose continuing to sub is pressuring SE in any way?

Obviously not :P

Ya'll, we have access to 5 data centers at the moment and what...20+ servers? Can you not just...server/DC travel and go where there isn't a BLU pack going wild?
